“Sally was GREAT for daycare. I know my girls were taken care of, and they were beat when they got home. She was super active with them and definitely wore off the puppy energy! Definitely will be using her again”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. My life has revolved around caring for my own dogs. I have one senior dog & he'd like to make new friends. I work full time from home. I lost my female in February. I have a senior lab mix who would like company & i would like more interaction with dogs. My husband works part time from home. We have a nice yard for play time. I have a senior lab mix & he was trained on an underground fence . The yard is partially fenced in. It's a great space for play time
“Fran’s ears go up followed by a cute little head tilt whenever I mention that it’s “time to go see Mrs. Laken” 😀 I can tell she really loves her days there and getting to hangout with Remy and Mouse, other pet friends and of course Bostynn ☺️ because she starts to get so excited as soon as we turn onto the street. I appreciate all of the cuddles and love my girl receives. Thank you from me and Nanny Fran.”
“What a fabulous experience with Zach! He spent time with our virtual meet and greet making minor adjustments to assure Coleman’s safety and my comfort. He understands how much pets mean as family members and works hard to accommodate. His place is set up to care for pups in separate areas if necessary. Lots of photos and video throughout the stay. I highly recommend him.”
“Lorie is a wonderful pet sitter! She is very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and she is so thoughtful about the dogs in her home and how they get along with one another. Her daughter is so sweet and our Murphy loved playing with her! Lorie takes great care of our puppy and is even helping to teach him to go down stairs! She really knows what she’s doing, is a great communicator, and has a loving home (and great yard!) for the dogs. Murphy loves it there and it is a huge relief not to worry about him while I’m away, because I know Lorie is taking good care of him!”
“Shanelle was amazing with Brownie! She took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which really gave me peace of mind. I could tell he was in loving, capable hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Katherine took great care of my pup. She took her on a long walk and even to a stream. I really appreciate the attention and care she provided. Thank you, Katherine!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, from dogs to cats, and even smaller pets like rabbits and hamsters. Whether it's walking, feeding, playing, or giving medication, I treat every animal like they're my own. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets when they’re away, and I genuinely love every second of it. From energetic puppies to sweet seniors, I’ve handled it all with love and patience I’m going to start police academy soon but I’ll still be extremely flexible! I can provide care throughout the day, whether it’s morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening cuddles. Weekends are open too. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I always make time for play, walks, and one-on-one attention. I have a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time. Inside, I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space with no hazards. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I follow your routine closely and keep communication open with updates and photos. I understand how important trust is, and I treat each pet like family. Crating is no problem if preferred, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions you have.
“Extremely reliable & so attentive to the needs of my dog and accommodating our busy life!! I’m endlessly grateful for her and her adorable daughter. They’re our number one go to for dog care in Ohio!!”
“Alyssa was very responsive, sent lots of pictures/updates and Tucker is nice and tired after a full day of playing! Thank you for taking great care of our little guy!”
About: Hi! You can call me Rose (: I’m that person who lights up whenever a dog walks into a room. More than likely, I will pet or talk to your dog before I start a conversation with you...I’ve always had dogs in my household growing up. I’ve volunteered at an animal rescue for 4 years which sparked my love for dogs. I have also fostered a few dogs during COVID. No matter the breed, size, age, color, I will spoil and love your dog to my fullest potential. I’m always trying to find new ways to entertain dogs wether it’s by walking, playing with a garden hose, zoomies in the backyard, whatever I can do to make sure your dog is having the time of their life while you’re away. I work from home so I am home all day during the week! I do run errands during the week but am only gone for an hour or so at a time. While I work from home, I will mainly be in my office space but will always be checking in on your doggo. I hope they would be comfortable enough to join me in my office while I work! I have a fully fenced in backyard and live in a quiet neighborhood for peaceful walks. If your dog requires or is more comfortable in a crate, I can comfortably fit one in my home as well.
“Kelsey is consistent, reliable, and wonderful with Luna. I had a last minute request for daycare and she was extremely responsive and helpful. Luna loves Kelsey and her sweet dog Kitana.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly love caring for them! I’ve had dogs my whole life and am currently a proud cat stepdad. I’ll provide your pet with attentive, personalized care and a comfortable, welcoming stay while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for—and to give you peace of mind until you’re back together. I'm currently working from home with a lot of flexibility to walk or plays with your pet. I am currently available around the clock to board. I have a fenced in yard, and would also be able to take dogs outside on a leash with full supervision. I am open to board at my house, or house sit if preferred.
“Latisha is an incredible sitter and went above and beyond in a way that I can’t even begin to mention in a tiny review on this website. I am forever grateful to have found her to watch my baby boy.”
About: Welcome to my profile! My name is Emily. I am a wife, a pediatric nurse & newly a mom to a beautiful baby girl. I also have two silly cats named Greta & Beatrice. My life has always involved animals. I grew up with several cats & dogs in my home and love both of them! I am reliable, attentive, and treat every pet with the same care I would give my own. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need medication or extra attention. I stick to your routines, watch for the little details, and keep you in the loop with updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. Hope to hear from you soon & work closely with you and your fur baby! I’m currently on maternity leave with my new baby girl! When I return to work at the hospital in September it will be very part time, so I will have plenty of time to walk, watch or check in on your pets! I am able to be flexible with you & your pets routine! I am happy to come to your home to check in on your pets or walk your dog!
“Rachel was wonderful! She helped me with a last minute day care situation and she was extremely flexible and very quick to respond. She went out of her way to run her errands the day I contacted her so she would be able to stay home all day with my dog......on a Holiday. She provided me with pictures and updates throughout the day and was very caring for my dog. My dog has diabetes and she understood the nature of a diabetic dog. I was very glad to choose Rachel to take care of Boomer and will definitely contact her again when I am in the area. Rachel is very friendly and I would recommend her to my friends.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Minerva Park
Will and Bibiana are truly amazing! They have cared for our very high energy Frenchie (Lexi) twice so far. The first time was for 11 days, during our vacation out of town. Lexi warmed up to them right away and was cared for as if she was their own. Their home is neat and clean and very dog friendly, including toys for playtime, and a lot of area and dog beds for dogs to lounge and outdoor fenced-in yard for them to run. Lexi enjoyed meeting new friends and all the attention she was given, including walks on the nature trail by their house. My husband and I also really appreciated the updates with pictures during her stay. The second time Lexi stayed was an overnight for a wedding we had, which they had agreed to watch Lexi and our daughters doodle (River). During the second drop off, Lexi was so excited to returned and ran right into their home as if she had known them for years. Will and Bibiana are very responsive, kind, and truly care for the dogs in their home. We look forward to working with them anytime we need a sitter for Lexi in the future.
Dominic had a great time and was eager to go in and meet new friends when we got there. Our meet and greet gave us peace of mind that we could relax and enjoy our event without worrying about if Dominic is alright away from home. Andres handled him very well and provided pictures throughout the day so we could see what he was up to. Dom would love to come back if we're ever back in Columbus! Thank you for taking care of him like one of your own we really appreciate it!
Camille and Joshua did a great job taking care of Thunder! They walked him and sent photos and updates daily. I could tell Thunder had a great time at their house. He’d wag his tail when I asked him if he wanted to go over to play with Johnny and the children. I would definitely ask them to help watch Thunder again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Minerva Park on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Minerva Park commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 640 sitters in Minerva Park, 91% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
